Intercooler update...

[BoostedEX]

While Jim is tuning it......TAKE SOME PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[grand600]

Oh there will be lots of pics and video. I just hope it works as advertised!!!!! Did anybody see the last issue of sport compact car? The one with the JRSC miata with a FMIC? If my car does the same thing I will be one happy camper. All we can do now is wait and see what gains I see. If I don't see anything then I just wasted a whole lot of money!!! But hey It will look good right!!! Wish me luck! I really hope the product works but only the dyno will tell. Later

Why have you all the overpriced JR bandaids? For the same or a little more money you could get a real standalone and better tuning numbers.

[grand600]

I have gotten most of the parts and I am waiting on JRcivic for the Hondata intake Mani gasket. I just recieved ZIP'S EBL and it is a nice looking piece. (look at my car for JR bandaids) The only reason I got the EBL is for the Boost Limiter. I have every other JR bandaid you can get. So now I await the Gasket. The car should be done before the end of the month, intercooler and all. I am then going to drive down to JRcivc's place and show him the goods and let him tune it. Does anybody think I can lay down 230WHP on stock internals, God I hope so, anywho that is the update and yes,,, DBman this is for real.

I didn't get a standalone because... To be honest with you I didnt know they existed at the time. So now all I can do is get the I/C done and see what happens. BTW the intercooler is twice the size of a drag gen 3 intercooler. God I hope this works!!!

Curoius...I kept myself awake the other night thinking about this very topic. Have you kept the blower behind the motor, or did you move it around front like that SOHC piece of video that was floating around? Maybe I'll get around to seriously engineering my own SC IC next winter....I've got an Si, but it's probably 8-9 years older than yours.

Its twice as big as the IC in the Drag kit? Is it a front mount? I always assumed it would go between the blower and the manifold, and if so I dont see how it could be that big.

It sounds like he's plumbing the blower output all the way to a fmic and back to the intake manifold. I'm really interested in seeing some pics.

......just tease you guys more:

Ive physically held the new JR intake manifold in my hands and examined it. The quality looks top notch to me. It looks weird, but it does get the job done(i hope so for him).

Please dont ask me about it, this is GRANDS puppy, im just backing the reality of this LOCH NESS MONSTER. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
